WrestleZone.com is starting to shape up its plans for 2011 and we’re looking for writers. The recent surveys submitted by hundreds of you were very helpful. While WrestleZone will always focus on reporting the latest and most up-to-the-minute news on the Internet, you also made it known that the other features on the site are also valuable.
Below are two positions that we are currently looking to fill with multiple individuals that have the qualifications needed. Each will start as a volunteer position (no money!), but the benefits include (but not limited to): your work beeing seen by tens of thousands of die-hard wrestling fans each day, the satisfaction of writing about a sport we’re all passionate about, adding a credible mark on your resume, and the potential for your position to lead to more at some point in the future.
Please only inquire about the positions if you are serious and willing to commit the time needed:
